Claire and I had a special project together of making a gingerbread house. Mimi found a kit for us, but we had no idea how much work this thing would be!! Claire was so excited to decorate it, but first we had to make the icing, build the walls, wait an hour, put the roof on, wait 3 hours....and THEN she could decorate it! Phew! My kitchen was a disaster, the icing was like glue on my mixer, and there are still sprinkles turning up everywhere, BUT it was really fun!
I let go of making the "perfect" house and let her be creative. She had a great time putting on sprinkles and candy (although most of the candy was licked before being added to the house!)
"Licking the icing? Who me?"
Our finished house! She is so proud of it!
